"No."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King—once a creature of unmatched pride—trembled in fear before Ye Feng. In front of him, the mighty beast could only bow its head and accept a master-servant contract with Ya Fei, officially becoming her mount.
Ya Fei looked at the lion with new eyes. "What is your current cultivation level?"
"Level six," replied the Amethyst Winged Lion King solemnly.
"Equivalent to... Douhuang?" Ya Fei's voice almost cracked in disbelief.
At that moment, everything Ye Feng said earlier clicked in her mind. The so-called "gift" he promised her—it wasn't some simple token. With this creature by her side, it was only a matter of time before she became the head of the Miteer family.
In the entire Jia Ma Empire, few could reach the Dou Huang level. The current patriarch of the Miteer Clan, Miteer Fujiyama, had only just reached the Dou Wang stage. But now, with the Amethyst Winged Lion King as her mount, Ya Fei's authority and status would soar above his. Her ascension to clan leader was all but guaranteed.
Ye Feng's gaze shifted to the lion's wounds. He took a step forward, and with that, nine spirit rings appeared beneath his feet. In his palm, a jade-colored crabapple flower bloomed silently.
Sixth Divine Skill · Embrace of the Goddess of Life
As Ye Feng's sixth spirit ring flared to life, a towering green figure emerged behind the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It stood ten meters tall, arms open, then slowly enveloped the lion in a healing embrace.
Bathed in emerald light, the lion's wounds visibly began to mend. Cracks across its crystalline purple hide began to seal themselves at a pace visible to the naked eye.
"Ahh..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King gasped, stunned.
So were Ya Fei and the Little Medical Fairy.
Beneath the glow of the green energy, the entire area seemed to flourish. Flowers bloomed wildly, vines curled upward, and trees that were once barely twenty meters tall grew into towering giants over fifty meters high.
This was the first time either Ya Fei or the Little Medical Fairy had seen Ye Feng unleash a true spirit skill.
Once the healing was complete, Ye Feng nodded and said calmly, "All right. It's time for us to leave."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hesitated before asking, "How... should I address you?"
"Mr. Ye," he replied coolly.
"Master Ye, please wait!"
The lion rushed back into its cave. Moments later, it emerged carrying a massive stone platform on its back. Resting atop the platform was a peculiar egg—clearly no ordinary one. It was a stone egg, glowing faintly from within.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. That must be the Purple Crystal Source Egg. Consuming it would grant him the Purple Flame beast fire and enhance his fire attribute spirit tremendously.
Behind the lion came a smaller version of itself—a Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, one-fifth the size of the original.
"So cute! Is that your child?" Ya Fei asked, eyes lighting up.
Indeed, most women had a soft spot for creatures like these.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion echoed from the sky.
"Someone's fighting!" the Little Medical Fairy said sharply.
"Judging from the energy waves, both sides are powerful," Ya Fei added, frowning.
The lion sniffed the air. "Those fluctuations... they're coming from the Six-Winged Golden Python. Who would be foolish enough to provoke that earthworm?"
Ye Feng turned to Ya Fei. "Pack up the platform and its contents."
Without hesitation, she stored the stone platform—with the egg—into her spatial ring.
Ding Dong!
Congratulations! You've helped Ya Fei obtain the full Purple Crystal Source, preventing Xiao Yan from acquiring it. Original storyline subverted.
Reward: Distributable Attribute Points +366
In addition, Ye Feng had previously collected fragments of the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass and Pure Lotus Demonic Flame maps in the cave. He also helped the Little Medical Fairy obtain the Purple Cloud Wings, triggering another system reward: 4,698 distributable attribute points.
As they were preparing to leave, Ya Fei and the Little Medical Fairy made a request.
"Let's fly to the Six-Winged Golden Python's territory," Ya Fei said.
Ye Feng raised a brow but agreed. "Fine, let's go."
"Mr. Ye, you first," Ya Fei offered.
"You go first," Ye Feng said, eyes glinting. "You're the master now. Sitting in front offers a better flying experience."
"Alright," Ya Fei nodded, not reading too much into his words. With a light hop, she landed gracefully on the lion's back.
"What about me?" asked the Little Medical Fairy.
"You come up next," Ye Feng said, smirking faintly.
That smile sent warning bells through the Little Medical Fairy's head. Why does he look like that?
As Ye Feng climbed onto the lion's back behind Ya Fei, both women immediately realized something.
Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King was huge—seven or eight meters long—its back had limited space due to its wings, massive head, and tail.
When Ye Feng sat behind Ya Fei, the pressure of his thigh against her was... obvious.
The Little Medical Fairy blushed furiously. If she got on now, it would only push Ya Fei and Ye Feng closer together. And she'd have no choice but to sit very close to him.
Now she understood that wicked smile.
"Aren't you coming up yet?" Ye Feng asked innocently. "This is a Level Six magical beast, on par with a Douhuang. How many people in this world get a chance to ride one?"
He wasn't wrong. This was a legendary beast—nightmare of mercenaries and elite adventurers alike.
She bit her lip.
"…Tch. Damn it."
Blushing bright red, the Little Medical Fairy jumped up and landed beside them, squeezing into the narrow space on the lion's back.
"Master, shall we go?" the lion asked respectfully.
"Go," Ya Fei nodded.
With a thunderous flap of its wings, the Amethyst Winged Lion King took to the skies. Its flight was surprisingly smooth, but that didn't stop the faint sound of clothing brushing against clothing. Amidst the rushing wind, the friction between their bodies produced sounds too subtle to ignore.
Moments later, the lion halted mid-air. Up ahead in the clouds hovered a terrifying creature.
A giant, six-winged python shimmered in golden light. Over fifty meters long, its distorted head bristled with barbs like a demonic hedgehog.
And facing this monster… was a woman.
She wore a plain dress, tightly wrapped around her curvaceous figure. In her hand was a glowing, emerald green longsword. Her long black hair was adorned with an elegant phoenix hairpin, and her noble, breathtaking face remained calm.
Even in simple clothes, she radiated a regal aura that couldn't be hidden.
